Gender and Sexuality
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity, Homosexuality,
Lesbianism, Bi-sexuality, Transgenderism… All scream, “I was born this way,
this is who I really am.” And yet it is not who or how the God of Israel, the Creator
of the universe, created a person to be. It is clear in His Word that He
created only two genders and that these two genders were meant to be in union
(Gen. 1:26-27, 2:20-24).
Due to the Fall of mankind we have a bent toward
rebellion and a piqued inclination to all that which is perverted, twisted and
evil and yes even abominable in the sight of God, who is our Creator and thus
has the right to dictate to us moral absolutes. But because of our fallen human
nature we are susceptible to influences of the Evil One, his cohorts and the
way they manipulate our body, soul and spirit as well as our environment, entertainment,
pop culture, family and friends, all to funnel us like a rat into the trap he
has designed for us.
The latest incarnation of Star Trek is heavily promoting
such things as Homosexuality, Lesbianism, Bi-sexuality, Transgenderism, but as
I recently watched and episode of Star Trek Voyager, the issue of Homosexuality,
Lesbianism, Bi-sexuality, Transgenderism was made clear in light of the Borg
and former drone, Seven of Nine, being severed from the Borg Collective and
Captain Janeway’s attempt to bring her back to the humanity from which she was
taken from.
Allow me to set the scene. Being severed from the
consciousness of the Borg collective, Seven of Nine who prior to assimilation
was a little human girl named Anikka Hanson; her supressed human immune system
reasserts itself an begins to reject the Borg implants. She becomes angry and a
danger to others as well as herself is placed in the Brig. She goes ballistic
and attempts to penetrate the force field of the holding cell when Captain
Janeway is alerted to her outburst and goes to see her.
Star Trek Voyager. Season
4, episode 2, “The Gift”
[Brig]
SEVEN: One. One.
(Janeway enters. Seven is just pacing sadly now.)
SEVEN: My designation is Seven of Nine. But the others are gone. Designations are no longer relevant. I am one.
JANEWAY: Yes, you are.
SEVEN: But I cannot function this way. Alone.
JANEWAY: You're not alone. I'm willing to help you.
SEVEN: If that's true, you won't do this to me. Take me back to my own kind.
JANEWAY: You are with your own kind. Humans.
SEVEN: I don't remember being human. I don't know what it is to be human.
(Janeway picks up a PADD and lowers the forcefield.) <br>
SEVEN: What are you doing?
JANEWAY: I'm coming in.
SEVEN: I'll kill you.
JANEWAY: I don't think you will.
(Janeway enters the cell, staying out of arms reach. She shows Seven the picture from the Personnel File on the PADD.)
JANEWAY: Do you remember her? Her name was Annika Hansen. She was born on stardate 25479 at the Tendara Colony. There's still a lot we don't know about her. Did she have any siblings? Who were her friends? Where did she go to school? What was her favourite colour?
(Seven looks at the picture for a while, then slaps it out of Janeway's hand.)
SEVEN: Irrelevant! Take me back to the Borg.
JANEWAY: I can't do that.
SEVEN: So quiet. One voice.
JANEWAY: One voice can be stronger than a thousand voices. Your mind is independent now, with its own unique identity.
SEVEN: You are forcing that identity upon me. It's not mine.
JANEWAY: Oh yes, it is. I'm just giving you back what was stolen from you. The existence you were denied, the child who never had a chance. That life is yours to live now.
SEVEN: Don't want that life.
JANEWAY: It's what you are. Don't resist it.
SEVEN: No!
(She collapses into Janeway's arms. Janeway helps her back to the bunk and holds her.)

I want to focus on the last bit of the conversation.
SEVEN: You are forcing that identity upon me. It's not mine.
JANEWAY: Oh yes, it is. I'm just giving you back what was stolen from you. The existence you were denied, the child who never had a chance. That life is yours to live now.

Many in the LGBT community claim that those such as the conservative Judeo-Christian
population who do not agree with their lifestyle and attempts to prove from
various angles that it is an unnatural and unacceptable identity and way of
life use this very phraseology, “You are forcing that (straight and or natural born gender) identity upon me. It’s not
mine.” And Janeway’s reply is superb and is an applicable and acceptable,
truthful response to a LGBT person. “Oh yes, it is. I'm just giving you back what was stolen
from you…” Stolen by the satanically devised manipulation through body, soul and spirit as well as our
environment, entertainment, pop culture, family and friends that was bought,
accepted and assimilated into; just like a Borg.
It so simple and
straight forward, intellectually, logically and spiritually and doesn’t need to
be muddled by wanna-be-pseudo-science and abstract pop culture philosophy.
Chromosomes and DNA dictate only one of two genders and thus only one of two
identities that goes along with said gender. In the case of a birth defect such
as hermaphroditism, a person born with both sets of genitalia, the dominate,
functional genitalia dictate the true sex of the individual.
One can undergo a
sex change to outwardly appear to be of the opposite sex and supposedly match
ones broken psyche, but the chromosomes and muscular-skeletal structure will
still decree the true gender of the individual.
The greatest
misconception by the LGBT community is that most assume and believe those who
are genuinely of the conservative Judeo-Christian persuasion not only
disapprove of them, but hate and condemn them.
Despite the popular mainstream way of thinking today, it is possible to
disagree and even oppose someone and still love them.
